The cache is only valid (and thus kept) within the same invocation of Xpand or
Xtend. So the cache should automatically be made available for garbage
collection inbetween the different parts of your workflow.

thanks, knut,

good to know that the cache is only bound to the active (Xpand or Xtend)
workflow component,
so only the models stored in slots and workflow properties are available
thru the whole workflow.
